How to love a Woman?

Mother,

you never taught me

how to love a woman.

and so

I never loved

the woman in me.

from early on

you taught me

to be prim and proper

to wait for the knight in the shining armour

you told me,

my journey to a man's heart

was always through his stomach.

you trained me,

a table spoon of salt

stays a table spoon of salt.

so, i never knew

what journey should i be taking

to reach a woman's heart.

now,

unprepared; untrained

when each morning

i wake up to find the woman

lying next to me,

unresponsive; lifeless

i do not know how to wake her up. 

so, we find ourselves in a hospital

battered and bruised. 

sometimes it is our body.

sometimes it is our soul.

But mother,

how do I fix? 

a broken wing,

a broken heart of a woman

because, 

you never taught me

how to love a woman

so, I never knew

how to love a woman in me.
